Hi, Search fund community member:
Hope you had a great Labor Day holiday. Post-holiday, it always feels like there’s renewed energy in connecting with our various communities. To that end, I’ll be bringing folks together for a Pub Night in Dallas before the Second Self-Funded Search Conference, where I will moderate a panel on the State of Search. Last year, I gathered more new info and ideas at this conference than at any other by far. Additionally, the following week, I’m hosting a Happy Hour in Charlotte for the first time.
We’re thrilled to welcome Keith Burns, Co-Chairman & CEO of Lullwater & Co., as our special guest for our Book Club on “Why Should White Guys Have All the Fun?” He will share how this impactful book has inspired his entrepreneurial journey. The Book Club is a wonderful opportunity to connect, share stories of inspiration and growth, and engage in a motivational discussion.
Warm regards,
~ Karen
